The son of immigrants who fled Ottoman rule, Barber grew his business from a kitchen-based operation to a company with a work force of 800. He began by offering cut-up chicken parts and later shifted to stuffed chicken entrees.

More than 40 percent of the company's employees are immigrants, many of whom take English courses on site, the family said. More than 50 languages are spoken at Barber Foods, according to the company's Web site.

Barber retired in 2002 as chairman of the company's board of directors.
